Love on Thin Ice
Summer
Friday night arrived with the force of a freight train.
The Eastern University arena was completely sold out.
Ten thousand fans packed the stands, a sea of blue and white jerseys chanting, screaming, and stomping their feet until the concrete structure vibrated.
But tonight, the atmosphere had an additional, electric edge: three high-definition HypeTV production cameras were mounted on the glass, their red lights glowing brightly.
I was sitting in the VIP family box, right behind the home bench.
It was a prime location, meaning every time the broadcast cut to a reaction shot of the crowd, my face would be front and center.
